In an article on sparkling wines published in the French newspaper Le Monde<\/a><\/strong>, Recaredo\u2019s Tur\u00f3 d\u2019en Mota<\/a> is described as representing \u201cthe best of cava\u201d: a single vineyard planted in 1940, a single variety (Xarel\u00b7lo), and a clear intention to make a terroir sparkling wine that is capable of representing a small part of the landscape of Alt Pened\u00e8s. The report, signed by correspondent Sandrine Morel, also highlights the important role small growers in Pened\u00e8s play in raising awareness of the prestige and quality of cava in international markets.<\/p>\n

Under the title Le domaine Recaredo refait p\u00e9tiller le cava<\/em>, the Le Monde<\/em><\/strong> article emphasises how the Recaredo family has sought to develop a distinctive identity as makers of brut nature sparkling wines based on the cultivation of 50 hectares of family-owned vineyards that have been worked in accordance with biodynamic principles for the last decade. The French newspaper quotes Recaredo\u2019s director Ton Mata, who stresses that \u201cit\u2019s important not to ask the land to produce more than it can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Le Monde<\/em><\/strong> praises the winemaker for a number of distinguishing features that lend Recaredo its own unique personality: the distinctive character of the Xarel\u00b7lo variety, which represents 50% of Recaredo\u2019s crop, the decision to stop using the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties from 2014 in order to give more prominence to Mediterranean grape varieties, the use of natural cork stoppers during ageing for all of its production, and the practice of manual disgorgement at the naturally cool temperature of the cellars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
